Chris Brown came under attack by a flock of seagulls yesterday as he relaxed on the beach with his girlfriend.

The R&B singer was spending some down time with his lover Karrueche Tran in Miami Florida yesterday when the incident happened.

This comes amid rumours that he has been spending increasing amounts of time with ex-girlfriend Rihanna and that they are on the brink of reconciling.

But the 22-year-old appeared to be all loved up with Karrueche who donned a black and blue bikini for the afternoon in the sun.

As Chris went to spray some sunscreen on his tattooed skin, the birds swooped down which sent him into a frenzy and laughing fit.

It's not known if he got pecked by the seagulls but it is thought he might have brought it on himself because he and his entourage were allegedly feeding the birds french fries.

Chris spent time greeting fans and taking pictures with them enjoying his renewed popularity.

TMZ reports that Karrueche is not concerned about the reports Chris is heading for a union with Rihanna or that he turned up to her birthday party earlier this week.

Apparently the loved up couple are now living together and Chris whisked Karrueche away to Miami to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Sources have told the site that Chris tells her every day how much he loves her and has no plans to leave her for the Barbadian songstress.

Chris, who won his first Grammy at last weekend's awards, has come under backlash by some who don't believe he should have been forgiven and allowed back into the music industry after he assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna three years ago.

Country singer Miranda Lambert had taken to her Twitter page to slam the singer after he won the award for Best R&B album for F.A.M.E.

'I don't get it,' she wrote. 'He beat on a girl.'

She also brought him up during her concert at the University of Massachusetts on Thursday where she produced a large poster with the words, 'Take notes Chris Brown' scribbled on it just before she sang her song Gunpower and Lead.

Her tune is about a woman who decides to kill her abusive husband.

According to reports from Vibe.com RiRi and Chris are going to be hooking up on an upcoming single called Birthday Cake (Remix).

The last time the former couple collaborated on a track was in 2007 on the single Cinderella (Umbrella Remix) which also featured Jay-Z.

The news that she and Brown may be heading back into the studio again comes as a surprise since it was just over three years ago that she pressed charges against the Run It singer for domestic abuse.

A source told the magazine: 'Rihanna loves to live dangerously and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that.'

The Talk That Talk singer has raised eyebrows recently after reportedly becoming friends again with her ex-boyfriend and according to TMZ the two spent a lot of time together at Rihanna's birthday party at the Hearst Mansion in Beverly Hills.

This is now perfectly legal since the restraining order imposed after he beat up the Umbrella singer was lifted.

In August that year he was sentenced to five years of probation, one year of domestic violence counselling, and six months of community service.

He was also given a five-year restraining order requiring him to remain 50 yards away from Rihanna, or 10 yards at public events.

However many will wonder why the Rated R star was so accommodating considering the vicious beating she received during the 2009 attack.

According to a police statement he punched her, bit her and even tried to choke her after getting her in a headlock.

Brown turned himself in to the Los Angeles police on February 8, 2009, and was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats, while under investigation for domestic violence charges.

The news of her apparent duet with Chris has led Billboard to warn Rihanna to stay clear of the star and remember that she is a 'role model'.

In an open letter Billboard said: 'If you continue letting Chris Brown slither into your work or personal life, nothing tremendous will happen – bloggers will blog and a backlash will form, but you’ll no doubt continue ruling the Hot 100 and the world will keep spinning.'

They continued: 'Yet if you grit your teeth, sacrifice instinct and decide to inspire… even three years removed from that horrific incident, that ''f*** yourself'' moment, that public banishment of the man who physically attacked you, will still resonate with so many people looking for their own morsel of strength.'

Rihanna responded to the long letter via her Twitter page and said: 'Chiefin' while ppl spend hrs on letters... *kanye shrug* #phuckit'.

She later added: 'Who Jah bless I say NO MAN CURSE! Ting's gettin better when they thought it would be worse'.
